I really like the notification bar, and most of all the font, on this theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693767
Problem is, running xtrRom without sense, it messes somethings up if I just flash the entire deal.
Graphical glitches and such.
Is there anyway I can get just the notification bar out of the zip?
Or, if not, can I at least get the version of helvetica he's using? I fell in love with it, but try as I might, I can't seem to find another version of Helvetica that looks like it..... or at least I'm just not replacing DroidSans correctly.
Any help is appreciated.
Got the Helvetica, but I need help getting the notification bar and dialer skin ported to xtrROM. Anyone experienced with such a thing willing to help?

Guys and gals, this is my first post, having only recently rooting and theming my Orange UK Hero, I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create me a small .zip of a translucent Notification Blind that I can install on top of my other Theme?
Im new to all of this and hope to be able to edit and package my own Updates soon, but for now..............
Looking for the exact same thing. Hower not fully transparet, only like 50% opacity. Would look sweet..
cheers
I was wondering and asking for the same thing thanks for asking slimjimwoods

That looks pretty close, is there a theme that has semi transparent notifications too? I'll have a browse about and see if I can find one. If not then that'll be the next best thing
I would like a stand-alone skin for just the notificationbar. Today I use the clear as a bell theme and i would like to take it a step further with transparent natificationbar. It would look sweet... =)
Anyone sitting on a zip of what i need?
bump im afraid folks
i would do it for you guys but im not sure about something..
since all the themes iv done involve replacing "whole" apps, you would loose part of your current theme..
so unless you can remove files from an apk that arnt going to be changed, i cant help
anyone know?
to re -word... when you apply a theme, is the folder of the app replaced (in which case any files that were removed in theme, would not be on your phone anymore causing problems) or is it file to file meaning only files in side a folder that are "present" in the theme will be replaced on the phone?
i dont know enough about it to be sure, but the way i saw it, would be to replace/change the .png that currently draws down behind the notification area, just have its opacity reduced by 50%. Im probably way off on this........
what app would the notification area be? is it an individual app that can be messed with?
not really, thats why i asked what i asked... if i change just the notifications, it will change peoples themes
I am using the GalaxyS theme with Vegan 5.1 right now and for the most part I really like it, problem is the status icons are horrible. I tried pulling the green icons out of the GreenV2 theme and using ninjamorph to combine them with the GS theme. (I would just flash the GreenV2 theme, but I can't stand all the other green stuff in it) Anyway, whenever I push the framework back in with NM, I go into a bootloop.
Can anyone with experience with this stuff find it in their hearts to combine these two themes and create a flashable zip? All I want are the status icons and I can provide all the files needed since they don;t seem to be readily available on the forum anymore.

Thanks GTO777!
I would personally like to see something like this. I don't mean with windows logos in it, but something less harsh than stock honeycomb. One idea I would like to see and i'm not sure if its possible but a semi transparent menu bar at the bottom. If anyone is interested I could test it after I root my wifi xoom. Also if anyone has any ideas they'd like to see in a windows inspired theme drop them in here.

are you gonna make it ??? or are you wanting someone else to make it?
We need the AOSP to drop so we can have an updated smali/baksmali for apktool before any changes can be made to the SystemUI.apk, which defines the status bar color. I can't even change the clock color yet, which is frustrating.
A transparent status bar would be nice, actually. Better yet would be a status bar that went away when swiping down off of the screen, and returns when swiping up from off the bottom.
I couldn't make the theme, that is why I put it as a request. I haven't the slightest idea where to begin. I put the thread up to see if anyone else felt the same way I did about the stock appearance of honeycomb, it's a little too...digital? I kinda like the colorful icons and aero theme that windows has. I don't want to see a windows theme per se, but something that has elements taken from windows 7. Just my thoughts and ideas.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
Hey guys. So one problem I've been trying to find a solution for is I like allot of information in my status bar but I have so much in it I keep running into the issue of the text and icons overlapping. For example when I use Wanams setting to center the clock allot of things overlap or when I try to add more and nothings overlapping it whatever is on the right side just runs off the screen. Is there a way to create maybe a marquee style where I could add as much I wanted and just have anything that runs off the screen in the status bar constantly scroll across? Currently running Firekat v6.
First possible solution listed here by another member, didn't work though, fishing for more ideas...

Bro I thing your font just sux... change the font or the size of it. See attachment.
Yeah man I know it is a little on the bold side but I kinda like it, other than changing the font I'm thinking there's gotta be another way because no matter what the font someone could have too much up there and be facing the same situation....

At least you could make the font smaller and honestly I don't know a mod to make the icons scrollable..

Hmm, well just noticing how when the network speed indicator changes everything to the right of it expands to the right and the contracts back, wondering if that could placed on the left and tweaked to pull everything on the right smoothly to the left, then repeat... Not trying to kang though
Lol like pac man in your status bar? That's a fun idea
